    found recently, the reverse and outside rim looks normal with exception to the partial obverse edge.
    does this fall into the rr rim catagory?

    Can you give us a photo of the edge?

    It looks like the planchet may not have seated correctly in the coining chamber or maybe a clash where the die struck the retaining collar that forms the reeding.

    Can you take one more photo laying the coin flat on a table and shooting directly toward the reeded edge?

    Thanks,

    Chris

    I don't see a railroad rim, but I do see a collar clash.

    Yeah! I just wanted to see a better shot of the rim to be sure.

    To be a "railroad rim" it should look like a railroad rim.

    It's a strong collar clash. Definitely a keeper!
